Development Background of FOTON TM3 CARGO BOX
To align with the development demands of the overseas mini-truck market: Mini-truck products are evolving toward higher-grade standards, with growing emphasis on environmental friendliness and safety. As product updates accelerate and market competition becomes increasingly intense, brand value has emerged as a key differentiator in market rivalry.
To adapt to shifts in overseas customer needs: Mini-trucks are now being applied in a broader range of scenarios. Driven by factors such as rising residents’ income, improved road infrastructure, booming urban and rural logistics, and changes in income-generating channels, customer requirements for mini-trucks have also undergone corresponding changes.
Market Strategic Positioning of FOTON TM3 CARGO BOX
The mini-truck is positioned in the urban cargo van market segment. Specifically, mini-trucks with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) below 3 tons are targeted at the urban last-mile logistics distribution market, while those with a GVW above 3 tons are oriented toward the urban logistics transportation market.
Among the product lineup: TM1 short-axle models cater to the market for vehicles with a GVW of 1.8 tons or less, competing directly with established Japanese mini-truck products; TM1 medium-and-long-axle models cover the 1.8-3 ton GVW market, going up against both new Japanese models and mini-trucks from Chinese manufacturers; TM2 diesel-powered models focus on the market for vehicles with a GVW of 3 tons or more, aiming to capture market share from Korean small trucks.
